CLK ENGINE SWAP - M113K

Hello everybody!

I finally came along an M113K engine with about 470hp. I'm really tempted to start the project right now but I'm wondering if it's even possible to make that swap to my CLK 430. I'm kinda new to this but I'm in need of advice.

Best regards from Sweden!

You'll likely end up dealing with this in addition to the tuning nightmares.

My CLK55 Cab has this swap done to it. It's Great! Better than my previous SL55! However my mechanic did advise that this swap is far better suited for the 55 Cars, as their tranny is the same as in the 600, and far more capable of handling the increased power; just food for thought. Best of luck in your endeavors.

His car has improved quite a bit since then.
